    Noah Lyles’ 2024 Olympics are seemingly over.

    He was supposed to take part in Friday’s men’s 4x100m relay final, but that now seems out of the question.

    Lyles, who revealed he tested positive before Thursday’s race, opened up in an emotional Instagram caption that also congratulated Letsile Tebogo and Kenny Bednarek, who took gold and silver respectively.

    “I want to thank everyone for the supportive messages,” he said in his post which featured a picture of him kneeling down on the track in France.
